Official Results for MOPAR SMALL TIRE THROWDOWN

We ended up having a great race. Everybody there had a great time and we all got to put faces with names and get to know each other. We had 10 cars show up with one breaking before the actual race so 9 cars were entered in eliminations. We had 4 cars that broke something within the last week before the race. We had another 4 cars that confirmed they would be there and didn't show for reasons unknown. If those 8 would have showed it would have been a full 16 car field but thats how it goes, nothing you can do about it. It was really really really HOT and that plagued all of us. Added to that I think every car there was having some sort of issue with their car that was not allowing it to run to its potential. For us it was the trans/converter....it wouldn't even let us do a burnout! I don't know how the car still ran 5.60s without even a burnout and wet tires but it did. Luck was def on our side. Anyway, here is how everything ended up.....

I just wanna say thanks to everyone that came to the race and supported our efforts. I also want to appologize that we weren't able to be more organized about everything. I completely underestimated how difficult it was going to be to try and run the race and participate at the same time!!! We were having problems with our car and everyone there just fell right in with us and helped us get it going. Every racer there honestly would give up the shirt off their back to help one of the other fellow racers!! It didn't matter if you needed a part, tool, advice, or whatever everyone was willing to do whatever it took. Special thanks to Scotty Wilson and his dad for helping us change the plugs on our car in a rush. For those of you that don't know, thats no easy task on our car!

I learned a lot from this race and would do a lot of things differently. Maybe with what we learned from this we can make the next one even better. And to all the haters out there....well this site is a family site and I can't say what I want but you know what I mean!

well said

we had a great time running this race...just wish we had a little more.

We got time sheets from time runs but I don't think the track ever gave us time sheets from eliminations. I will check and see. Pretty much all et's were in the 5.50 - 5.80 range in eliminations. Some quicker times were made Friday night testing but clocks were off and some people might not like me telling everyone what their et was.
